Shark Attack Cupcakes!

Posted by hellocupcakeblog at 3/12/2008 3:28 PM and is filed under Animal Cupcakes

For his birthday bash Liam got  a shark attack. It looked like there was a feeding frenzy in the waves, but not to worry, the kids ate all the sharks before anyone got injured. Karen made the sharks from Twinkies coated in grey tinted frosting. You can get the full instructions in our book, Hello Cupcake! and see all the other shark attack cupcake designs including a buoy marker, life preservers with shark bites, and a school of fish fleeing the sharks! The full instructions are in our book. If Liam's party was any indication, shark attacks are going to be very popular.

You can check out the book at our web site www.hellocupcakebook.com




Happy Cupcaking!

Karen and Alan

    Wow! I just saw the first copy of Hello Cupcake, and let me tell you, it is worth waiting for. I might start with somthing a little simpler than "Shark Attack" though...maybe "minnow attack". I've just bought enough copies of the new book to last me through every hostess gift, baby shower, birthday present... yada yada yada... for the coming year! ITS PERFECT! Some day I hope to meet Karen and/or Alan...do you have a public appearance schedule yet for the book launch?

    Karen/Alan,

    I made shark cupcakes today and had trouble with dipping them in the gray frosting. I microwaved the frosting for 30 seconds and it seemed to be the correct consistency, however, when I dipped, I could not get the frosting to coat the sharks evenly. There were thicker spots and thinner spots. I have been using Duncan Hines frosting. Any tips/help you can provide would be much appreciated. This happened when I made the bowling pin cupcakes also. Look forward to hearing from you!

    Regards,
    Chef Cheryl

      Hi Chef,

      Be sure to stir the frosting regularly as you dip. Definitely stir it after you remove it from the microwave since it doesn't heat evenly and will not be a consistent texture until you stir. After each dip stir again both to keep it even and also to test to see if it has become too thick for dipping. If it has thickened, put it back in the microwave for a few seconds and test again to see if the consistency is good for dipping. Sounds complicated but really once you get a rhythm going and learn to recognize the correct consistency it goes very smoothly (pun very much intended)!

      Thanks for writing and...

      Keep on cupcaking!
